How We do it

Farming

Quality matters! Each year we produce a harvest of up to 12 tons of Arabica variety beans. We’ve been coffee farmers since 1932, maintaining the techniques from one generation to the other. The most important for us is to keep a sustainable farm and to always be community and environment-friendly

Fermentation

In order to obtain optimum quality, close attention should be paid to the fermentation process. The perfect balance between fermentation time and temperature gives us an excellent Premium Gourmet Coffee for those who enjoy a great cup every morning.

Drying

The coffee is dried naturally for 2-3 weeks. Moisture control is essential for the roasting process.

Carolina, our Production Engineering performs several tests to obtain different qualities, from the seeding she controls the different variables which can affect the coffee taste and flavors with the aim of innovating and improving continuously.

Roasting

Roasting is one of the pillars of good coffee. Kith & Kin roasts the production accompanied by a group of roasting experts in Brno, Czech Republic. We roast it in batches of 300kg, in this way we keep our Premium Coffee fresh, ready to be tasted.

How to Grind

The objective of a proper grind is to get the most flavor in a single cup of coffee,
depending always of the coffee maker.

» Always grind your beans as close to the brew time as possible for maximum freshness.
» We recommend taking a moment to examine the beans and smell their aroma.
» The size of the grind is hugely important to the taste of your coffee.
» For a standard cup of coffee the ratio should be: 10gr coffee / 0,20 lt water.
» Your beans’ greatest enemies are air, moisture, heat, and light. Keep your beans in a dark and cool location.
